Love for the Internet and Ms. Paige Messages
00:00:00
Baker Plbg
Listen, I love the internet. I truly do. And I love the fact that people, I've had at least two dozen direct messages here this week um in reference to Ms. Paige.
00:00:15
Baker Plbg
um as i like I'll finish was starting.
Importance of Accountability and Truth
00:00:20
Baker Plbg
I love people that are trying to hold me to account. I appreciate it. I think I should be like everybody else. If I say something that is untrue or,
00:00:29
Baker Plbg
um not unkind. i can say things that are not nice. don't have any problem with that. I don't know if I should be unkind. I certainly should be truthful.
Excitement for Industry Events
00:00:41
Baker Plbg
Anyway, i don't know what's going on. um ah There's obviously a bunch of Canadians at the installer show. That's the only one that I know that's going on right now. And then there's CMPX that's happening this week.
00:00:54
Baker Plbg
So that's fabulous.
Authenticity of Ms. Paige's Blue-Collar Claims
00:00:58
Baker Plbg
Let me repeat what I said and be very clear about what I said, because people tend to take what I say and then, you know, twist it up a bit, exaggerate a bit, and it becomes something different than what my intention was.
00:01:11
Baker Plbg
I absolutely believe that Miss Page is genuine. I'm sure she's well spoken. I'm sure she's kind. I'm sure she's engaging.
00:01:25
Baker Plbg
and and that what she's doing is heartfelt. i don't have i don't have any umbrage with with that.
00:01:36
Baker Plbg
My contention shows up when She claims to be part of the blue collar space, that she somehow is blue collar and can relate to the blue collar world, which she absolutely cannot because she's not blue collar. She's never done a blue collar job in any meaningful way for any substantial length
Requirement of Genuine Experience for Blue-Collar Identity
00:01:59
Baker Plbg
of time. And and and I'm sorry to say that's that's the qualifier.
00:02:04
Baker Plbg
for claiming to be part of this space is that you're in it and you've been in it for some time and you understand some of the nuances that it takes to be successful in the blue collar space.
00:02:18
Baker Plbg
um There are plenty of people that I respect that are either technical writers, salesmen,
00:02:30
Baker Plbg
estimators, like hydronics designers, engineers. don't respect many engineers, but what you know I'm saying. That's a bit of a gag, by the way.
00:02:42
Baker Plbg
um That... are vital and important to the space, but they're not blue collar. They literally went to college, got an education as XYZ and spend their days working in a cubicle.
00:02:55
Baker Plbg
I don't, that is not by any stretch of the imagination, blue collar.
Challenge to Ms. Paige's Representation
00:03:01
Baker Plbg
And it is my contention, my belief that we don't need ah people cosplaying as blue collar workers.
00:03:11
Baker Plbg
That's it. That's that's simply it. And my challenge to her, and I've reached out to her twice and got nothing back, which is fine.
00:03:23
Baker Plbg
I'm not bitter about that. um
00:03:26
Baker Plbg
I just want her to, I feel that she should represent herself truthfully.
Seeking Dialogue and Common Ground with Ms. Paige
00:03:33
Baker Plbg
That's it. I mean, am the advocate for the trade. I've gone through the definitions of that before.
00:03:39
Baker Plbg
Like you're, you are fangirl of the trade.
00:03:43
Baker Plbg
And there are fanboys of the trade.
00:03:46
Baker Plbg
I'm gonna get in so much trouble. Anyway, like I've said, i'm sure she's very nice. Although there are there is significant evidence that I am not going to share, but it's not an unknown fact that, you know, what happens behind closed door doors is not the exact same thing that happens in front of the camera.
00:04:10
Baker Plbg
Although there are cameras behind closed doors. That said, I wish her all the best. And I'll read all'll extend it again. like If you would like to have a conversation about where I'm at and where you're at and see if there's some common ground on there. And I think there is.
Closing Remarks and Future Meetings
00:04:29
Baker Plbg
i just i i think it's a smoke and mirror show. And it's not necessary. there are plenty of, of well-spoken women that are actually blue collar.
00:04:44
Baker Plbg
Most of them have me blocked.
00:04:47
Baker Plbg
Despite having zero contact with me. Anyway, I got meetings to go to today this morning. Everybody have a blessed day. Well, my thoughts, not yours. i have a fabulous start to your week. That's it.
00:04:57
Baker Plbg
Bye for now.
